POWERFUL & COMPLEX. A FRESH TAKE on the American road story, filled with people and ideas we rarely get to see onstage. – The New York Times

A timely political edge, an ethnically diverse cast, and a score by a singer-songwriter who knows how to rock. – Variety

Two SERIOUSLY RICH roles for women, each with IMPORTANT THINGS WORTH SINGING ABOUT. DAPHNE RUBIN-VEGA has NEVER BEEN BETTER and GIZEL JIMÉNEZ is EYE-OPENING. – The New York Times

Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Quiara Alegría Hudes (Water by the Spoonful, In the Heights) and acclaimed, genre-breaking singer/songwriter Erin McKeown bring their highly anticipated new musical to The Public this season.

Two-time Tony nominee Daphne Rubin-Vega (Anna in the Tropics, Daphne's Dive) is Beatriz, flawed mom to 16 year-old Olivia, and an undocumented immigrant on the verge of deportation. After living estranged from each other for years, a mother and daughter embark on a road trip that crosses state lines. Together they meet Americans of different backgrounds, shared dreams, and complicated truths in this powerful new show with vast heart and fierce humor.

Obie-winning director Lear deBessonet (Resident Director/Founder of Public Works) and choreographer Danny Mefford (Dear Evan Hansen, Fun Home) stage this transcendent new production with music that will find your soul, and stay with you forever.
